SAN FRANCISCO - Twitter is branching out from advertising to find more ways to make money — both for itself and for its most prolific users, whether those are businesses, celebrities or regular people.In an investor presentation Thursday, the social media company announced a new feature called "Super Follows," which will let users charge for extra, exclusive material not shown to their regular followers.
This can include subscriber-only newsletters, videos, deals and discounts. Users would pay a monthly subscription fee to access the extra content.Twitter users — and the company’s investors — have long been asking it to launch a subscription-based model.
